Dear Members of the DeLone family, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him for four years as his boss at Paoli Hospital as well as knowing your family from growing up in Rox. and St.John's parish. Bob was a great person to work with and just share a laugh or a funny neighborhood story. I am sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers.

Bob and I shared many good times over the years, he was a great guy and he loved to talk about the desserts his aunt made for him. He always made you feel welcome when you came into the room greeting you with a warm handshake. I miss him already.

I am so proud to be a member of this family. Bob and I shared many happy times together and he was so lucky to have such wonderful caring siblings who were there for him all through his illness. My sister Joan would be so proud of them. I will miss him dearly.

My family lived and I grew up across the street from the DeLone family. I lived next door to Gina for years. I am great friends with all of them, Bob, Mr. D, Dan, Amy, Gina, Mark and especially Tom. I have fond memories of Bob. What a great family! What a great guy! He will be missed. My heart felt sympathy to everyone.

Bob was a happy-go-lucky friendly guy who lent me a much needed helping hand. When I bought my first car ('76 Pontiac LeMans) for $500 - I thought everything was wrong with it. I didn't know anything about cars except how to put gas in it. One day, Bob was walking by and asked me what the problem was. I told him it just keeps stalling. He was kind enough to take a look and said, "here's your problem, the carburetor's falling apart - I'll rebuild it for you". That car ran like a top after that. He wouldn't take any money so I insisted on buying him a case a beer. I think we ended up having a few together with my father. It was a kind gesture to help his brother's friend that I will never forget. I am sure he will be sorely missed by friends and family. I extend my sincere condolences to the entire Delone family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I hope my memory of Bob will provide you solace.
